Abstract (en)
A tray assembly (20) for balancing weights is disclosed. The tray assembly has trays (21-24) of different sizes adapted to different sizes of the balancing weights (31-34). This results in that the balancing weights (31-34) are all positioned in the same height, and therefore can easily be picked up by a handling system. The size of the tray may automatically be adjusted by slides (55-58) operated by actuators (51-54). The tray may be a horizontal rotating tray assembly which preferably has a conical form, thus allowing a plurality of handling systems, picking up balancing weights at the same time. This results in a significantly improved loading speed.
